'I mean to be'

Painting 4, 2011. Oil and pentel on canvas, 14 x 11 inches.
Worked yesterday on a 2009 painting that doesn't quite do it anymore. Old stuff sometimes lose their freshness and get recycled. Yesterday's blip was okay when on a white wall but on a dark mat board it doesn't work. Will redo it at some point. For this piece, halfway through the process moved the painting to the other wall (not white) and painted it there. Painting video.

Pulled the title from one of the songs in the video 'The girl I mean to be'. Part of the challenge in making a video is mixing up disparate pieces of music to go with it, just to see what happens.
